Significant progress has been made by the railways over the past decade in traffic growth, productivity improvements and emissions reductions. The locomotive manufacturers have met the challenge of developing Tier 2 compliant locomotives. GM Electro-Motive is currently testing their SD70ACe Tier 2 compliant locomotive. The federal government has initiated programs to help the industry develop new technologies. Companies providing technical support to the rail industry have developed new technologies or refined existing technologies that offer tremendous potential for further fuel efficiency gains and emissions reductions. The rail industry has indicated that it is “On Track” in its efforts to reduce emissions. Overall, the rail industry has been successful in reducing CO2 emissions by 16% compared to 1980. However, as rail freight movement is likely to continue to grow over the next few years, this may place a strain on the energy efficiency gains the rail industry has already made. Observations made by industry representatives suggest that even greater gains could be achieved with the implementation of policies designed to further assist the industry. Industry representatives and others have suggested that what may be missing is a cohesive policy framework that maximizes the emission reduction opportunities that appear to be there. Canada’s Railways Today and Tomorrow The workshop opened with a review of “Straight Ahead – a vision for transportation in Canada.” Straight Ahead provides a policy framework for the continued success and balance of Canada’s transportation system. Overall, the transportation system in Canada is on track, is generally working well and not in need of major overhaul. Productivity growth in the transportation sector has been almost double that of the economy as a whole over the past ten years. Rail productivity has increased by up to 81% since 1981 with 75% of these gains transferred to shippers in the form of reduced rates. The system is fundamentally competitive and efficient. Market abuse is not systemic or widespread and most shippers are well served. One change that will be made is to enshrine respect for the environment in the National Transportation Policy statement of the Canada Transportation Act. Transportation represents 25% of Canada’s GHG emissions. The modal split is as follows: Road Vehicles - 71%, Off Road Vehicles - 13%, Aviation - 7%, Rail Freight - 4%, Marine - 4%, and Bus 1%. GHG’s for all transportation sectors are up 21% from 1990 to 1999. Emissions from the whole transportation industry are definitely not on track. However, about 63% of the increase can be attributed to road freight, while rail’s GHG emissions are down 1%. The Railway Association of Canada presented data on the growth in railway freight traffic over the last 15 years. There has been an explosion in for-hire truck traffic from 1991-2001, 112% (on a tonne-kilometre basis), much of it NAFTA related, while rail v Railways and the Environment Workshop / L’Industrie Ferroviaire et L’Environnement activity grew by 38%. Over the past 20 years the rail industry has experienced a continuous increase in activity. Total tonne-kilometres have increased 29% from 240 billion in 1980 to 310 billion in 2000. CO2 emissions are down 16% compared to 1980 and fuel efficiency has improved 38%. By 2000 rail moved about 66% of total freight tonne-kilometres in Canada and produced only 4% of transportation GHG emissions, with truck moving 34% of total freight tonne-kilometres and producing about 32% of GHG emissions. The rail industry has a key role to play in improving the overall environmental performance of the transport sector. Despite the efficiency improvements of the rail industry, rail is facing challenges to continue to reduce its GHG emissions and improve its efficiency while pursuing increased activities. Transport Canada, through the Federal government’s climate change initiatives, has put two programs in place to help the industry in this regard. The first is the Freight Efficiency and Technology Initiative, a program managed by Transport Canada. It is a $14 million 5-year initiative launched under Action Plan 2000 on Climate Change. The three main components include voluntary performance agreements, training and awareness initiatives and the Freight Sustainability Demonstration Program. The second is the Commercial Transportation, Energy Efficiency and Fuels Initiative, which is a four-year, $32 million program that will complement existing FETI. Environment Canada is responsible for Canada’s Clean Air Agenda. The Agenda was launched in May of 2000 and includes a focus on the transportation sector as part of Canada’s Agenda on Vehicles, Engines and Fuels. Generally, the intent is to align fairly closely to U.S. toxic emissions standards for vehicles, engines and fuels. Environment Canada is putting in place regulations for new on-road vehicles and engines and off-road engines and setting new standards for fuel quality. The approach is very much regulatory-based. Environment Canada and the Railway Association of Canada have an agreement on locomotive air emissions that takes effect from 1995 to 2005. The agreement sets a NOx cap of 115 kilotonnes per year. The Memorandum of Understanding includes reporting requirements for total fuel consumption, gross and net ton-miles,

  • A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, the Medical Amendment Act
    A Prescription in the Public Interest? Bill 207, The Medical Amendment Act THERESA VANDEAN DANYLUK I.1N1RODUCTION ''when there are [private members'] proposals that the government finds in the public interest, I think there is a more recent developing interest to work together and get these proposals 1 moving." Generally, the passage of Private Members' Bills ("PMB") 1 into law is a rare feat for opposition members and government backbenchers ("private members"). In the Manitoba Legislature, this statement is particularly true-since 1992, while 141 PMBs were formulated, 88 of which were printed and introduced in the House, only four subsequently became law.3 It should, however, be noted that these figures do not account for PMBs which, after being introduced by private members but not passed, are introduced and subsequently passed in whole or in part through government legislation. Interview of Hon. Gord Mackintosh, Attorney General and Government House Leader, by Theresa Danyluk (6 October 2005) in Winnipeg, Manitoba. A private members' bill is a bill presented to the House by either a government backbencher or an opposition member. There are private members' public bills; dealing with general legislation, and private members' private bills; used most commonly for the incorporation of an organization seeking powers, which cannot be granted mder The Cmporations Act, or for amendments to existing Private Acts of Incorporation.

  • Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
    Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance.

  • Controversy Surrounding the Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging
    Controversy Surrounding The Environment Amendment Act: Balancing the Risk of West Nile Virus Over Malathion Fogging LEAH ROSS My wife and I get sick when the pesticide trucks come around every year. We don’t need to hear when our area is being fogged—we can feel it in our legs, a dull ache that tells us the poison truck has come. We have tried to get our house taken off the list, and the city has duly recorded our name and address, but it has no effect. The guys on the truck just spray everything, including people’s vegetable gardens. Once my wife saw them spray our house and ran outside to tell them we were supposed to be missed. The guy on the truck noticed her, turned around… and sprayed her with the fog…. Another night we saw them playing with the neighbour’s dog, who likes chasing water hoses and figured, somewhere in his tiny dog brain, that he was playing the same game. He cheerfully chased the spray around his dog pad, his muzzle dripping with malathion. The truck had stopped so that the sprayer could play this game for a minute or two. We never bothered to complain, figuring that if they weren’t going to respect our wish to be bypassed, they weren’t going to investigate our complaint. It’s our word against theirs.1 I.
